New Ears Day!

A MOST UNBELIEVABLE DAY 
IN THE LIFE OF KATIE
Paul Tanner putting on the final touches Friday.  Note: KT was not allowed to see the real ears until he was completely done.
Once he was finished, Katie was allowed to turn around and see her final ears for the first time.  The photo above and below captured her reaction from two different camera angles.  You can just SEE the joy in her soul.  It was a very emotional moment for all of us!
 Then, she got to hang some earrings on those new ears!  This is where joy intersected with pure pleasure.  


By the time we got home, Grandma had posted this sign in the front window of her house, declaring it a HAPPY NEW EARS DAY!  There has been nothing but rejoicing since.
